Good try sparkeykev, but no cigar. I assume you were referring to the accordion styled, 3 to 4 to 5 inch hose that attaches to the intake manifold. I inspected it and used vinyl repair to dot over anything that might become a crack or break. My Maxi is still shutting off after a few minutes running. Once again, it does start back up, sometimes imediately and sometimes it takes a little accelerator persuasion.
